The NFL does not allow tatoos to appear in its video games anymore.[/quote]

they still have them on current gen 08

Hey Pasta, I agree that while much (much much much) better this year, the statistics, specifically, the high qb ratings and completion percentage, should be tweaked but I fear it may already be to late, is there any way you might still be able to suggest it to the producers with the amount of time left? I hope so, appreciate the hard work

Does anybody know if on NCAA, if on the “Recruiting Board” screen that committed players will automatically be moved to the bottom of your list, that was very annoying to have to change every single week.

[quote comment="23710"]Hey Pasta,

Ive never posted here but I visit all the time, you do a great job giving me my Madden and NCAA fix before the games come out. Thank you for that.

I just wanted to see if you could find something out for me… Im a big Edgerrin James fan… but every year, I buy the new Madden and Edgerrin James with the longest dreads ive ever seen. It bugs the heck out of me, to the point, I dont like playing with my favorite player. He hasn’t had dreads since 2002. If you have a chance, could you please find out if I have endure another season of that. And if you can please let someone know, that he doesnt have dreads anymore… it might sounds stupid, i know, but I really cant take it anymore, it kills me…I see all these uniform adjustments, and “authentic player models”… and they put Full Dreads on player who doesnt even have them in his picture in the game.

Please Pasta.. help me out man, My Madden 09 season is on the line.[/quote]

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t the NFL just institute a new rule prohibiting players from having long hair sticking out from the helmets. This would negate the entire argument b/c even if a player did have dreads, he would have to keep it under his hat.

I think this problem will resolve itself.

Pasta, i saw in one of the reviews from the ea community event
that the producers said that they had added some qb specific stats. like long, medium, and short throw accuracy. but then in RUSSELL05′s impressions, he said that there will be no new stats for the qb’s. So which one is it? Thanks in advance.

They were considering it however no rule is in place.

i didnt remember which review said they added the qb stats but here it is in RUSSELL05′s Deeper Look at 09 vs 08 with Producers he said
“then he stated (talking about ian) that more ratings for the QB position are in the books for 09. You remember the ratings from Head Coach. Throw accuracy short, medium, and deep, throw on the run etc…. Ian is trying to get all of those ratings in the game and then some. I was very happy to hear this indeed.”
but then RUSSELL05 says “One of my favorite subjects to talk with developers about has always been player ratings and the way they effect game play. With that I’m always extremely happy to report when they either add new ones or tweak the existing system. I only get to talk about the latter since no new ratings where added this year.” in his impressions article. So RUSSELL05 or Pasta do they have qb specific stats in Madden 09

I waited almost the whole weekend to get Russel’s impressions of the Franchise mode and all it boils down to is that there is a blog coming soon (knew that already), he played a whole season, and the game froze.

He doesn’t give any actual in-depth information on what Franchise mode feels like, how it plays, or answering any of the 1000′s of questions that people on this board have been asking about Franchise mode for weeks.

The whole post is some pics of various end of the season screens. While it is a nice way to show off the stats, I would have loved a lot more information on how the actual franchise plays.

Missed opportunity.

LOL That’s how I felt. I mean all anyone had to say is it froze just before the offseason and I would’ve stopped inquiring but instead we got more of what we already knew.

There are no new ratings for the QB position this year in Madden 09 I explained why they didn’t add any new ones in both articles.

I noticed that in some of the videos are classic moments from last year and then when you watch the video they show a thing where you can chose from a moment to try and relive. Do you know anything about this pasta?

i understand the limitations, when there are 55 guys on a team, and 35 of them have visible tatts.

that being said, they are part of the experience and it wouldn’t be hard to add generic tattoos for different types: a sleave, a forearm, a bicep.

as for aceoye4: shut up. people want different things from their football game. most want realism. this is part of realism.

Damn man you whining over tattoos? You might as well complain about their shoe laces too if you focuses on micro shit like that.

hmmm… sorry about my earlier “shut up” comment. it was meant for jonathan, not aceoye4. i was trying (unsuccessfully) to defend aceoye.

tattoos are not the most important thing, but generic tattoos wouldn’t be hard to do, and really would not use very much memory. tattoos=part of the experience.

shoe laces do not, and to compare them to tattoos is simply stupid.

[quote comment="23849"]pasta, now that you have played madden 09 and spent quality time with it. how does it feel to go go back and play 08.[/quote]

I can’t even imagine playing 08 anymore. Though that is usually the case when you play a new version of all the sports games, its even more pronounced with the two versions of Madden.

I was psyched about Head Coach but after hearing the online is in Gamecast format that really took brought my excitement down considerably whats up with the half a** approach EA?!?! You’ll make the game better but leave out a key feature not too many people play games on the same console so online has to be on point!!! Come on thats gotta change Pasta you gotta let em know ONLINE PLAY IS WHERE ITS AT!!! For the love of God its 2008
